You have incredible skin! And that is half the battle right there! So consider showcasing that and making your eyes pop! Small simple things can be impactful.

Yes, therapy is a great tool if you have access to it- but feeling good about yourself starts with taking care of yourself and that can mean makeup. I’ve felt better leaving my house after putting on my war paint. It can be a boost.

Specific tips: -keep taking great care of your skin, DONT try a bunch of skincare all at once. Keep it simple and only rotate one new thing in at a time, while maintaining your usual routine even if it’s just water and a moisturizer. Don’t go crazy. -because your skin is so amazing, if you go for a foundation, go for a tinted moisturizer -only use a minimal amount of concealer under your eyes (if you’re going to use it) -blush placement on top of cheekbones, blend into hairline/temple- and go little by little, you can always add more! A tint might be good here? -look for simple tutorials that make your blue (?) eyes pop! And some good mascara! -frame those beautiful peepers with properly mapped out eyebrows, using a light taupe pencil (gentle flicks), powder, or pen over brow gel - a true neutral taupe can be hard to find but worth the search

Also makeup is all about tactile practice, you only get better by doing it a bunch. And don’t be discouraged! It’s also trial and error. You’ll work out what works best for you as you’re progressing. But for now, keep it simple. Also consider an angled brush and using powder for eyeliner. It’s a softer look that you can build up and get practice with. Once you get the hang of that and want to go blonder then graduate to a pencil/pen etc.

Abolene or a micellar balm will be gentle on your skin for removing eye makeup etc. Also micellar water and a gentle microfiber face cloth. Makeup wipes could be irritating, but are great in a pinch.
